    Nobody's said this yet, I don't believe, but...

    LONG LIVE PAVEL!

    If it weren't for him, well, my life would be a WHOLE lot different.
    Because of MOO, I now live 3000 miles away from home, in a nice apartment
    in a great city like Oakland, California, have traveled to many different
    places in the world (IRL), have a nice job, many friends, an easy A on
    all comp sci lab projects last year that had anything to do with object
    orientated design, intimate knowledge of HTTP, experience working with
    people to sort out problems and mediate, experience administrating
    systems that I wouldn't have had otherwise, a breakneck typing speed, a
    cool pseudonym, and a whole lot of fun.

    Just had to say it :-)

    PS:  Yeah, my job is because of MOO.. it's basically designing and
    programming an interactive web server, which I learned how to do on a MOO.
